Located in Southern Taiwan, Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan and commonly known as the “Capital City” for its over 200 years of history as the capital under Koxinga and later Qing dynasty rule.

Tainan claims its name as one of the Taiwanese cultural capitals for its abundant historic monument and citizen lifestyle. The city is dotted by Taoist temples, Buddhist temples and churches. Many of them are among the oldest in Taiwan. The city also has its own unique traditions and cuisines developed by Chinese frontiers over its long history.

In the main body of the center, the Performance Hall is a three-floor building with 1803 seats in the fan-shape area. It provides a set of world-class sound, lighting and stage designs to accommodate a wide variety of traditional and modern arts performances.
